Hawzah News Agency- Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Saffar, who narrated from al-Abbas ibn Ma'ruf, from Bakr ibn Muhammad, from Abu Basir, from Imam Sadiq (pbuh) that he said:
أُصُولُ الْکُفْرِ ثَلَاثَهٌ الْحِرْصُ وَ الِاسْتِکْبَارُ وَ الْحَسَدُ فَأَمَّا الْحِرْصُ فَآدَمُ حِینَ نُهِیَ عَنِ الشَّجَرَهِ حَمَلَهُ الْحِرْصُ عَلَی أَنْ یَأْکُلَ مِنْهَا وَ أَمَّا الِاسْتِکْبَارُ فَإِبْلِیسُ حِینَ أُمِرَ بِالسُّجُودِ فَأَبَی وَ أَمَّا الْحَسَدُ فَابْنَا آدَمَ حِینَ قَتَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ حَسَداً.
The roots of disbelief are three: Greed, Arrogance, and Envy.
As for Greed: It was Adam, when he was forbidden from the tree, his greed compelled him to eat from it.
As for Arrogance: It was Iblis (Satan), when he was commanded to prostrate to Adam, but he refused.
As for Envy: It was the two sons of Adam (Cain and Abel), when one of them killed his brother out of envy.
Al-Khisal,Book 3,Hadith 28
